2013 Domaine la Colliere "La Fontaine" Rasteau (Previously $30)

SKU #130027992 points
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Made from 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre, from 40- to 70-year-old vines, the 2013 Rasteau La Fontaine is a gorgeous effort that has classic Rasteau richness and depth, yet also shows a seamless, elegant and classy style. Black raspberry, currants, ground herbs and pepper all emerge from this full-bodied, nicely concentrated effort, and while it has a soft, supple feel, it should evolve nicely for 4-5 years. Located in Rasteau, this small, family run estate was create by Georges Perrot, who bottled his first wine in 2002 while renting cellar space from Andre Romero of Domaine Soumade. (JD)

K&L Notes

At Domaine la Colliere, the husband-and-wife team, Georges and Delphine Perrot, makes extraordinary wines from their 30 vineyard plots, which span 25 hectares. Georges and Delphine decided to break away from the traditional style of many Rasteau wines, i.e., over-extracted and over-the-top, and focus on making aromatic, bright wines with a lifted feel. They achieve this through manual farming, fermentation in mostly old concrete tanks, and their exceptional soils (red clay, gravel, pale limestone clay and blue clay soils). Their wines are terroir-driven and exude freshness, fruit, and harmony between tannins and acidity. The 2013 Domaine La Colliere “La Fontaine” Rasteau may be one of the best wine values of the entire 2013 Rhône vintage. Made from 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre sourced from 70-year-old vines, the 2013 La Fontaine is a beautiful wine with aromas of raspberry, spice, herbs, and hints of stone. Fruit and pepper accents hit the palate as this lively, fresh offering unfolds. Perfect for pizza, spicy meat dishes or red pasta sauces, this wine will sing with almost all meat-inspired dishes.

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.

Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
